May have found a used X749 I can live with. Price seems good and it includes a 3-bag powerflow bagger system only 64 hours of useage. negotiating with seller right now and have questions:

How easy is it to remove bagger system so I can do some "rough" cutting? Can you be real specific? Minutes would matter to me. Ideally, I'd like to be able to switch over with no tools in a matter of just a few minutes. If it comes with bagger system, does that mean the black plastic chute must be reattached? Or does it fold out of the way?

Is the 62C mower deck "heavy duty"? Will it stand up to heavy use (not abuse), like tall grass, scaping some limited amounts of dirt, etc.? I know they offer a 7-iron, but something tells me it won't take a bagger.

Is there a 3 point hitch on them? I have a small Herd 1 bushel spreader I'd like to be able to use on it. Do you have to buy special JD implements? Might want to buy rototiller or snowblower. What is snowblower like to install/remove?

What don't you like about your X749? Even if it's nit-picky. I know what I like about it, but what will be disappointing?

THANKS!

The X749 system should be the same as on my X475.

The chute comes off in 15 seconds: Unhook the bungee hook, slide it off of both ends.
The deck boot in 30: Move the lever to tension release position, undo the belt, pull back on the boot, lift it out of the deck hole.
The rear bagger in 60: Pull two the pins, rotate them into the stop position, lower and lift out of the mounting tabs. This is easier with two people because its large. Particularly the install. But I've done it by myself more times than not.
